Struggling to keep your Dynamo scripts clean and efficient? Want to streamline your workflow and make your scripts more intuitive? 
In this video, we’ll explore the power of Paneling Nodes in Dynamo—what they are, how to use them effectively, and why they’re a game-changer for organizing complex scripts. You’ll also learn how paneling nodes can significantly improve readability, reduce clutter, and help you focus on the core logic of your design.
If you’ve already worked with paneling nodes, we’d love to hear about your experience! Your insights could help us better understand how this feature is being used in real-world scenarios, uncover potential pain points, and identify opportunities for improvement. Sharing your story could also inspire others in the community to optimize their workflows. So, what’s your take?

I didn’t know about them at all so thank you very much for the introduction - cool stuff! 
I’m sure they are intended for facade planning, unfortunately, that’s not my line of work.
We do however have the task of taking unregular surfaces (e.g. laserscans or sections of rivers) and “convert” them into regular grids to have better results in our hydraulic models so I gave the PanelSurface.ByParallelograms a shot.
It only worked for the first “subsurface” but I guess my use-case is just not what this tool is made for and there are other ways to achieve that.
Very nice to know though - thank you!

Happy to hear that you started discovering paneling nodes. If you need a specific paneling node or function and it is missing, we can work on it and try to extend our paneling node library. Feel free to share any ideas that you have.
Thank you very much for the feedback!

Thanks @pumpaij for giving this a try! While Facades do make up the most common use case for this node, its not limited to it.
If you are willing to share a sample of your file, we can investigate why it’s not working for your surface.
I think the paneling nodes are great for non-walls. The hexagon one is basically a really cool packing algorithm
